| Any chance I can retire at 27? |
| Tuesday, July 24, 2007 |
Over a year ago I changed careers from being a paralegal to property management. I was good at being a paralegal, but I got tired of the same ole same ole. I didn't really have the opportunity to work with people, and I wasn't passionate about it anymore. So when the opportunity came up to change careers I decided to take a leap. Property management is exciting. It gives me the opportunity to meet new people each day. I have a staff, and thankfully I'm good at this too.
So in the last year I have poured myself into a new career...too much of myself. I made it my priority...above everything else. And things started to look like that was going to be to my benefit. I was offered 4 transfers or promotions over a 3 week period. I had my choice! It was easy to turn down the first option....No Thank You! Option number 2 was temping, in fact I was going to take it, until option number 3 came along. Then when opton number 4 came along, option number 2 was no longer so tempting. So I turned it down too. It was between a transfer to a bigger and better property and a promotion in a temporary position.
I wish I had the gift of seeing through b.s. Damian has that gift. From the first offer, he was able to see through the circumstances and say...don't get excited, I don't trust them. He continued to say this with each offer...and felt stronger each time. He was right. Apparently these offers where offered to more than one person, and when this was realized rather than choosing they decided to given the promotion & transfer to no one & hire outside the company. I think this is shady!
So in doing so, they have stolen my joy. I will no longer sweat blood and tears for them. I will continue to be a loyal employee. I will do my job, but what I will not do is allow it to take the number one spot again. Maybe this was the awakening I needed. Such is life...and life goes on. Labels: work |

Work is important, but not THAT important. Madi deserves more time than the apartment does. But I see you know that already! ;o)
